As an aging king seeks to divide his kingdom amongst his three daughters, the forces of jealousy, blindness, and madness threaten his reign -- and the future of not just his country, but his family. Shakespeare's “King Lear” is one of the playwright's greatest creations: a powerful tale of loss, memory, insanity, and the importance of love.

“King Lear” is brought to life by the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival's Professional Company for the very first time, under the direction of Pirronne Yousefzadeh, a director, writer, and educator whose work has been produced by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Playmakers Repertory Company, the Kennedy Center, and many others.
